At ESHYFT, we’re focused on making shift filling seamless and efficient for your facility. Now, with our new pay rate flexibility feature, you can attract the right nurses and aides exactly when you need them by setting different pay rates for weekday and weekend shifts. This change helps increase your odds of filling shifts and ensures that your facility always has the coverage it needs.

Pay rates make all the difference

Here’s what we’ve found: pay rates impact your shift fill rate. Offering just a $1 higher rate can boost your chances of getting an applicant by up to 87%—for the same exact shift! This means small rate adjustments make a big difference in attracting applicants, especially for harder-to-fill shifts.

Weekend shifts are 50% less likely to get applicants compared to weekdays. The higher rate option is essential for attracting staff to weekend shifts, making this new feature an even more valuable tool for facilities needing consistent coverage every day of the week.

Boost your shift fill rate with pay rate flexibility

With the pay rate flexibility feature, you can set unique rates for weekend and weekday shifts. Since weekend shifts are less likely to get applicants, this extra flexibility helps ensure you’re putting the best offer out there to attract staff. A competitive weekend rate can make all the difference in filling those shifts and maintaining continuity of care.
